KEEP your eyes out for Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz. The couple is back in town but are trying to keep a low profile. ... I served my time in jail Wednesday at Muscular Dystrophy Association's make shift jail in Amfac Center's Tapa Ballroom. My fellow cellmate Jamie Olson, office manager for Actus Lend Lease, raised the most bail money at $6,918. It was Olson's first time in jail. Chef Gordon Lum of Gordon Biersch was also a first timer in jail. He was picked up at his restaurant. "I was done working already," Lum said. Officers Nina Hashimoto and Alven Kamp brought Lum in and when I was released, Lum was still handcuffed and waiting to have his mugshot taken. I guess he couldn't make his bail. ...

Around 200 people showed up at the "Extreme Makeover" open casting call at Kahala Mall this weekend. We won't know who the winner is yet but for those who want a makeover now, Gwen Fujie and Reimi Kaneshiro Marden, owner and founder of The Winning Edge in Las Vegas, will lead "Breakthrough Makeovers," a professional image and wardrobe workshop for women. The pair will cover cost-effective wardrobe building strategies, secrets to dressing for personal style and body shape, non-verbal cues that sabotage credibility instantly and ways to build confidence and courage to be your best self. The seminar will be held 8 a.m. Saturday at the Oahu Country Club. It costs $79. To reserve, call 1-888-267-5226. ...

We knew Miss Teen USA Sonya Balmores has a good head on her shoulders and that has been proven since she won the first runner-up title in the Miss Teen USA 2004 national pageant. She's been fielding several TV offers, even turning down a role in the daytime soap "As the World Turns," because she wants to finish her schooling first. The Kauai High School graduate plans to attend Hawaii Pacific University in the fall.
